Shortly after sunset
on Sunday August 21, 1955 a flying saucer landed in a field outside
of a farmhouse near Kelly, Kentucky. For the next three or
four hours a farm family was terrorized by beings who approached the
farmhouse. Several members of the family fired rifles and
shotguns at the creatures. Some of the shots hit the
creatures, but had no effect. The creatures were described as
about 3 feet tall with oversized heads, huge luminous yellow eyes,
big ears, long arms, and big hands ending in "talon". The
beings glowed all over with a silvery luminescence. and they
seemed to float rather than walk. (See drawing above made by
one of the witnesses.) The family finally made a run for their
car and drove to Hopkinsville, Kentucky and reported the incident to
the sheriff. The sheriff and other law enforcement personnel
then went out to the farmhouse with the family. They found
nothing. (Some witnesses have noted that a green luminous
substance was seen in the grass in the yard.) The law
enforcement personnel then left after completing their
investigation. The family then decided to go to bed.
Almost immediately the creatures returned and more shots were fired.
The creatures again were not affected by the bullets. Finally
near dawn the creatures left and never returned. Articles were
written in several newspapers the next days and onlookers flocked to
the farmhouse after hearing of the incident.
